Obituary | Lynn J. Lapka of Minneapolis, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home
May 30, 1961 - December 14, 2021
Lynn J. Lapka, age 60, of Minneapolis, Kansas, passed away on Tuesday, December 14, 2021.
Lynn was born on May 30, 1961. She was married to Adrian A. Lapka, who served for 28 years as District Magistrate Judge of Ottawa and Saline Counties.
Lynn and Adrian were married in Salina on October 18, 2003. Lynn was an award-winning radio deejay personality/writer/producer before seeking a career in nursing. She received all but one semester of her nursing training from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. She had experience in home health and long-term care, as well as hospital and prison-based health care. She joined the Salina Tech Allied Health Program in 2010 as adjunct instructor through her recent death.
Lynn had many hobbies... an avid botanist who loved working in her green house, as well as knitting, crocheting, quilting, and making clothes for her grandchildren. She was a self-proclaimed Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys fan who proclaimed earlier this year when the two teams played one another, “It’s a day I can’t lose!” … all spoils to the winner and lack of empathy for the losing team… which was right in line with her witty, charismatic, and uniquely positive outlook on life.
Lynn is survived by her mother Caroll Morris, of Marquette, Kansas; brother John Morris of Denver, Colorado; stepson Carlo and wife Alicia Lapka of Frisco, Texas; stepdaughter Erika Lapka of Miami, Texas; seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Lynn was preceded in death by her husband Adrian A. Lapka and father John R. Morris.
Burial will be at Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis, KS. A public announcement is still to come for a gathering in celebration of the life of Lynn J. Lapka.
